The most horrifying one to me was the number of people who chose to keep their life savings rather than save 4 people.
Also I would guess most people don't have much saved up in the first place.
I'm not justifying it but if they have a spouse and a few kids they might consider their long term survival over the immediate survival of strangers.
Money can be replaced, lives cannot. If you wanna be more self-serving, those 4 people would probably be very grateful for what you did and help you get back on your feet.
I 100% agree. I'm just trying to understand the logic of someone who would choose money over human life. I also suppose some people are just rotten.
It was a large percentage as I recall, around 80%.
